It brings the village an extra dimension of perfume and length, without ever weighing down the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes Peuillets stretches along the Savigny slope facing Beaune, at the bottom of the hillside, where the soils fill with sands and gravels carried by the Rhoin. This light and well drained terroir gives very aromatic Pinot Noir, with a fluid texture, which opens faster than the Premiers Crus of the opposite slope. It is a cru of perfume and drinkability more than of power: the difference with the village appellation is played out in the definition of the fruit, the length and the fineness of the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the critics say about this cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scores below cover the most recent vintages of the cuvée, all vintages taken together.

The Moulin Foulot fief, from which it comes, dates back to the 11th century. Bought in 2012 by Olivier Halley, the estate has since expanded its vineyard: 65 hectares spread over about a hundred plots, farmed under certified organic agriculture, which give five Grands Crus, twenty Premiers Crus and a dozen village and regional appellations. The estate sells entirely direct, 100 % of its production comes from its own vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Bourgogne, Côte de Beaune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savigny-Lès-Beaune Premier Cru Les Peuillets Rouge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château de Meursault\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 100 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep and velvety ruby, clearly denser than the village appellation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black cherry, peony, pepper, fresh undergrowth, a touch of mocha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluid and sapid texture, silky tannins, a long and perfumed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Savigny-Lès-Beaune Premier Cru Les Peuillets at 15 to 16 °C.
